brilliant stingray exhibit

Does the pool in the background connect to the pool in this ( stingray touch tank | ZooChat ) photo?

@PAT No they are separate. The touch tank pool is directly behind where I am facing for this photo. The reason I love this exhibit is there are no barriers other than the horizontal palm tree. It is the most natural exhibit for stingrays I can possibly imagine. It really is as if you are standing on the beach. By the way, that is a mystery ZooChatter posing for me to give a sense of scale.

Thanks @Arizona Docent , I was having a hard time picturing how it would work. Your explanation makes more sense.
